On the afternoon of September 15, the Swedish Embassy coordinated with RMIT University Ho Chi Minh City to organize the Nobel 2025 exhibition and dialogue program.

The activity aims to bring the Nobel Prize closer to the Vietnamese academic community, and at the same time concretize the Vietnam - Sweden Strategic Partnership in science , technology and innovation.

The event consists of two parts: an exhibition about more than 100 years of Nobel achievements and a dialogue with leading scientists from Sweden - the homeland of this prize.

The highlight of the event was the sharing of Professor Ulf Danielsson, member of the Nobel Committee for Physics, about the prize selection process.

He stressed that there is no general formula for winning a Nobel Prize in Physics. Apart from effort and discipline, laureates often have something in common: passion, courage and a necessary "irreverence".

"Being 'disrespectful' is not being rude, but rather not being too dependent on existing knowledge, daring to think in a completely new direction," Professor Danielsson explained.

Anyone in the world can win a Nobel Prize.

Speaking with Tuoi Tre , Swedish Ambassador to Vietnam Johan Ndisi affirmed that the Nobel Prize is a symbol of human achievement and global cooperation.

"Every year when the Nobel Prize ceremony takes place, the whole world's attention is focused on Stockholm. As a child, I was fascinated by those moments on TV screens," he shared.

He said that this exhibition and dialogue demonstrates Vietnam's great interest in science. The Vietnam-Sweden strategic partnership, established in June, has created a solid foundation for the two countries to promote academic cooperation. The Ambassador believes that this relationship will bring about concrete developments.

He also expressed hope that there will be a Vietnamese scientist winning the Nobel Prize in the future. The award committee always considers nominations from all over the world, evaluating each individual who has brought useful innovations to the world.

"Everyone has a chance. Anyone, from any country, can win a Nobel Prize. It's an open field for everyone," he stressed.
